A heavy detail of police mingled with mourners inside as well as outside the church, which anonymous telephone callers hadE threatened to bomb. The solemn ceremony was; broken by applause at one point when a speaker said Malcolm hadi died "on the battlefield, not in bed" in a quest for human equal- ity and dignity. "Harlem can't take much more.{ Civil rights-anti-poverty-soc&alI make a change here or there will be real trouble," one mourner said. Malcolm, though still a Muslim, had broken with the Chicago bas- ed Black Muslim movement to form his own black nationalist or- ganization. Malcolm's followers have blam- ed his slaying on this rival anti- white group, which is led by Elijah Muhammad. Malcolm broke with Muhammad last year, after 12 years as his most effective spokes- man. Denies Killing Muhammad denied that his Malcolm's killing. However, one of those under arrest for the murder is Norman 3X Butler, identified by police as a Black' Muslim "atenforcer" or muscle man.! Muhammad sent out word he would skip a scheduled appearance' at the sect's national convention in Chicago yesterday because of an asthmatic condition. He had defied reported assassins Thursday by appearing publicly at the convention's opening where he warned: "We will fight you if you fight us. You are inviting your own doom if you try to snuf out the life of Elijah." The sect leader had been sched- Checks Report A police guard at Muhammad's mansion checked the reported asthmatic condition with one of Muhammad's guards, who said Muhammad was quite well, but declined to confirm the reported change of schedule. Malcolm X had predicted his own murder on many occasions. He was shot as he started to ad- dress some 400 of his followers last Sunday and died before he could be taken to a nearby hos- pital. Elijah Muhammad, now holding his annual convention in Chicago, claims that Malcolm's group seeks his death as revenge. There were some whites present for Malcolm's services in the Har- lem church. However, Negro wom- en constituted the majority of those attending. PITTSBURGH (A>) - With ne- gotiations for a new $basic steel contract expected to resume in Pittsburgh March 8, one crucial question remains in the uncertain steel picture: who will lead the union? United States Labor Depart- ment officials in Pittsburgh said yesterday that no matter how close the final vote in the steel- workers election battle between incumbent president David Mc- Donald and I. W. Abel, union sec- retary-treasurer, the man with the most votes will probably take office June 1. McDonald is top man until then. The union's international tell- ers have been busy for a week behind closed doors tallying the votes of more than 600,000 steel- workers. i !7 i ......11 uled to appear again late yester- day to deliver an address and watch a boxing exhibition by heavyweight champion Cassius A nticipate i TO Seizures WASHINGTON VP) - Strong United States reaction was antici- pated yesterday to Indonesia's re- cent expropriation of U.S.-owned rubber plantations and further threats against U.S. Information Service facilities.

The chairman of the chamber's government operations and expen- ditures committee said a reduction of this size can be made "without impairing essential services." It was unclear whether Indo- nesia's action ordering its own management teams to take over the operations of the rubber plants was for a temporary period or longer. But the expropriation de- cree was interpreted by U.S. Con- sul Theodore Heavener to be tem- porary until agreements are nego- tiated with the companies by the Jakarta government, It was reported that if the Amer- ican managers did not yield, the: plantations would be subject to attack by the Communist-dom- inated Rubber Estate Workers Un- ion.

Predictions There were predictions last week by some members of the AFL-CIO executive committee that Secre- tary of Labor Willard Wirtz might seek to void the election and get the courts to order a new one. The Labor Department denied there had been any contemplation of such a move. Industry and un- ion sources called such talk pre- mature.

Moscow and Peking were split, with each trying to lead other Communis' parties after it.
